Economic Driver's License Suspension and Reinstatement
Economic Driver's License Suspension and Reinstatement
Low-wage workers with access to a reliable car are more likely to work, earn more, and work more hours. So, lack of a driver's license is a barrier to work. In addition, some jobs - especially in construction and health care - require a license of all applicants. For workers without a license, jobs may be inaccessible because a license is a prerequisite, or because a car is the only means of access to a job far from home. The most common reasons for license suspension and revocation are for non-driving offenses, as states have moved to use the license as a means to enforce other goals and raise revenue. The Mobility Agenda studies strategies to reduce the impact of license loss for economic reasons.
At a recent roundtable, participants shared evidence and research on economic driver's license suspension and revocation and discussed current efforts to address suspension and reinstatement policies. Attendees identified promising practices for replication, discussed barriers to better policy and practice, and developed ideas for future research, services, and policy.
